The visitors start arriving!
One of our first visitors was Lori (Mark's cousin) - a wonderful "aunt"
to our children. John for a while would say "Lori is my mommy."
- it is clear how he feels about her.
Lori has visited us twice now - once in April 2002 (see below) and
again in October 2003 - all of us are always glad to see her and sad
when she leaves.
Below you see Lori on her second visit, reading with the two kids, and
then the two kids in their new UNC outfits (courtesy of their Aunt and
favorite UNC fan!)
And here are some scenes from her first visit - on the right is John
and Lori in downtown Mechelen, on the left Lori with Lydia (boy has
Lydia changed!!) near our oil stove in the kitchen (one of our two
sources of heat in the old house). We also visited Brugges and Antwerp with Lori - we all kept
pretty busy on her trip!
